history

Surname

When it was first mentioned in the Lorsch Codex , the name Harlesheim was used in 771. It is composed of the basic word "home" and the defining word "Harles". It is therefore the Frankish abode of a Hari-ulf or Hari-lant. Until the place was finally named Herrnsheim in 1445, the forms Herlzheim, Herlivisheim, Herlisheim and Herlesheim can be found in documents.

From the Neolithic to the La Tène period

In the Herrnsheim district, besides flint blades from the Neolithic era , grave goods from the time of the band ceramics were found, which were given to the Landesmuseum Mainz and the Museum of the City of Worms. The grave of a Celtic princess, which was completely excavated in 1969, housed two gold rings, iron belt hooks, bronze rings, fibulae and a rod link chain made of bronze and iron. The discovery of an Etruscan bronze beak cup in 1952 led to the excavation on the site of the shooting range "east of the claws".

middle Ages

Early Middle Ages On June 12th, 771 Herrnsheim is mentioned for the first time in an inventory of the Lorsch monastery. The Franconian Nancher and his wife Edelind donate farmland to the monastery.

High and late Middle Ages Werner II. Von Bolanden confirms in his fief book (1194–1198) that a mill has been preserved in Herrnsheimer district. He himself lent goods to Gundolf von Worms, Heinrich von Worms and Dietrich von Enselthem ( Einselthum ). In 1253 Demudis, the widow of Heinrich II von Hohenecken, gave away farmland to the Schönau monastery . In 1343 the Andreasstift Worms acquired from Wilhelm, called Schade, and his wife Jutta their farm and property in Herrnsheim. The daughter Margarete of the Worms master Wyden bequeathed an important property to the monasteries Schönau and Kirschgarten. Here the treasurers of Worms are mentioned for the first time in connection with Herrnsheim, because the receiving monasteries have to pay them or their mayors an initial fee every year. Giselbrecht, Phoss, Gerhard and Johann Kämmerer von Worms own rights to the Hochheim monastery Himmelskron, which they bequeathed to their cousin Johann Kämmerer von Worms in 1347. His son Gerhard marries Greta von Dalberg , the last of their tribe, and so Johann also takes the name of the Dalberg family.

The chamberlain of Worms, called von Dalberg in Herrnsheim (1374–1792)

In 1374, the treasurers of Worms , known as von Dalberg , succeeded in having the local rule of all of Herrnsheim's residents certified. You get this legal position remunerated through services and regular fees. The contract is a confirmation of the actual circumstances that emerged from 1348. In 1375 Dieter Kämmerer von Worms, called von Dalberg, received Herrnsheim as a fief from the Counts of Leiningen . In 1385 they also acquire the Herrnsheim property from Count Palatine Ruprecht .
Under Philipp Kämmerer von Worms, called von Dalberg, the castle in Herrnsheim was built in 1460. When the church was expanded from 1470 to 1490, the Ursulakapelle was built as a burial chapel for those of Dalberg. In 1574 the property of the von Dalberg family in Herrnsheim is given as around 250 acres. The acquired goods and rights of von Dalberg in Herrnsheim are developed over centuries, partly in cooperation, partly in opposition to their powerful neighbors, the Count Palatinate and the Bishopric of Worms. The gentlemen offer protection to the village community, in return the farmers do their work and pay taxes.

Reformation and Thirty Years War

Elector Friedrich II of the Palatinate joined the Reformation in 1546 . Wolf the Elder von Dalberg and his son Wolf the Younger refer to the Augsburg Religious Peace and have the Elector contractually grant them the tenth-third of the former Neuhausen monastery. In 1581, the Electoral Palatinate appointed a Lutheran pastor in Herrnsheim. Wolf the Younger and the congregation declare that they want to stick to the old faith. He invokes the foundation of the ancestors and employs a Catholic mass priest for the Ursulakapelle, the burial place of his ancestors. Lutheran and Reformed pastors alternate until 1616. Wolf the Younger, on the other hand, repeatedly uses altarists in the Ursula chapel. Between 1597 and 1616, when Wolf the Younger died, there were arguments between him and the villagers. The reason for this is the increased compulsory work and payments for the construction of the new lower castle. The farmers complain of an "... almost daily increase in forced labor for thirty years". They threaten to call the Electoral Palatinate as patronage.
During the Thirty Years' War , Catholic and Protestant clergy in Herrnsheim took turns in changing military successes of the parties. In 1635 Herrnsheim was looted and cremated as the opponents of the imperial troops invaded. The place is described as "very barren and desolate". In addition to 74 residential buildings, there are 67 deserted places.

From the Thirty Years War to the War of the Palatinate Succession

In November and December 1676, 251 people in Herrnsheim died of the plague. On August 26, 1686, La Goupillière came to Herrnsheim with eight men and demanded that the French king pay homage the next morning. The frightened citizens give in after attempts to intimidate them and sign the French declaration. In 1687 the French appointed a Catholic priest. In 1689, Herrnsheim was cremated by French troops, and the population was tormented by a subsequent famine. After the Peace of Rijswijk in 1697, the areas where the Catholic religion was previously introduced by the French remain Catholic.

18th century

The Lords of Dalberg in the Lower Castle and those of the Upper Castle regulated matters between the community and the rulers in 1698. The gentlemen now lived outside the village.

In the course of the Palatinate War of Succession , Herrnsheim was seriously damaged in 1689.

The good economic development in the village in 1706 led to the formation of a common guild , the "student guild ". Regulations for training apprentices were also made. The guild pub was "Zur Krone".

In 1716 Herrnsheim was given the privilege of holding annual markets. In 1784, on the mediation of Wolfgang Heribert von Dalberg's Joseph Anton Sambuga , who later became King Ludwig I of Bavaria, became a pastor in Herrnsheim.

In the course of the Revolutionary Wars , the local rule of Dalberg came to an end in 1792 when French troops occupied the village.

19th century

Article 47 of the Vienna Congress Act allocated additional areas to the Grand Duchy of Hesse in 1815/16, including Worms , Alzey , Bingen and Mainz , an area now known as Rheinhessen . Herrnsheim is now under the administration of the Grand Duchy of Hesse in the Rheinhessen area. With the death of Emmerich-Joseph von Dalberg in 1833, the male line of Dalberg expires. His grandson John Dalberg Acton sold the castle and the park to the industrialist Cornelius Heyl in 1883 , who from 1886 onwards took the name of Heyl zu Herrnsheim when he was raised to the nobility .

20th century

In 1981 the Worms Clinic was opened in Herrnsheim

In 1942 Herrnsheim was incorporated into Worms.

In a railway accident on July 24, 1954, a bus was hit by a train at an open level crossing on the Worms – Gundheim railway line between Herrnsheim and Abenheim . 25 people died.

The city of Worms bought the castle and park in 1957 and gave it to the public. However, the castle is no longer accessible to the public today.

The Herrnsheim Castle

The Herrnsheim Castle , built in the style of Empire and Classicism, is probably the greatest attraction in Herrnsheim. It was formerly the seat of the Lords of Dalberg, who held the office of treasurer of the Bishop of Worms and after whom the Dalbergschule (Herrnsheim elementary school) is named. The so-called "Herrnsheim Wine Summer" has been held in the castle courtyard every year since 2012, during which Herrnsheim winemakers organize various cultural events and accompany them with their wines. Today the castle is owned by the city of Worms and is mainly used representative. The 10.5 hectare castle park is the most important English landscape garden in Rhineland-Palatinate. It was rebuilt from 1788 to 1792 by the garden architect Friedrich Ludwig Sckell . Essential design elements of the Herrnsheim Garden are the extensive pond system with bridges, islands, canals and the Cupid's grotto, the generous meadow areas and the forest-like trees in the north. The lively routing creates new backdrops, views and lines of sight, for example to the St. Anna Chapel in the neighboring vineyards or to the late medieval Schiller Tower and the orangery.

Friedrich Schiller is also said to have been to Herrnsheim in the “Schillertürmchen” named after him and to have worked there, but this cannot be clearly proven. In Herrnsheim there are still some old city walls, such as an old archway in the street “Am Mauergarten”, which is a listed building . Further outside there is a Jewish cemetery.
